So you wanna cast big boy spells?

Greetings all,
Long time no post. But I return from the silence of the real world with another random chart post. While not exactly crazy about Last Gasp Grimoire, I do appreciate ability to filter out art & smut. Their role-playing resources are great!

+Zachary Groombridge posted this interesting and rather disturbing chart for magical consequences for those casters who want to go beyond the safe limit of their spells. Nothing says Merry Christmas like horrific Lovecraftian consequences.

Here is the intro to his random tables. These charts are definitely not for the squeamish. If you have delicate ears or you are easily offended, don't bother looking at them.

A mysterious chaotic unstable force permeates the very air we breath, most are oblivious to its existence, but there are those learned and reckless enough to tap into its vastness, and at any cost untold power and vision will be theirs.
Every day the Magic-User will sit down with their spellbook to memorize a certain number of….

Fuck that. A Magic-User’s spell limit is how many spells they can SAFELY cast. Not how good their memory is (or how many spells the mind can contain if you prefer, if that was my problem I’d bring some goddamn notes with me), but how many times they can channel otherworldly energy through themselves before they become exhausted and things start to go awry.
